I am moving mailman from one server to another server (not changing
the domain) and noticed the instructions here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-January/055208.html
The instructions show to make sure you copy both the contents of
/var/lib/mailman/lists to the new server and also
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/.
My question is when looking at "/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/" I
notice that there are several old and deleted or no longer functioning
lists in this directory. Is there nothing that cleans up this path
when you create a test list and then remove it using the script
provided in /usr/lib/mailman/bin?
I just don't like a lot of clutter and want this as clean as possible.
Thanks for any info and help!

Nope, nothing will automatically remove the archives.
Not everyone wants the archives to go away even when a list does. The
safest thing to do is just leave it alone and let the system
administrator deal with it as desired.
